[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:09:40 PM EDT] Join KK has joined this channel.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:09:44 PM EDT] <judyward> Yum!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:09:48 PM EDT] <judyward> Hi KK
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:09:49 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Hi KK!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:10:19 PM EDT] * The_Bee sets out flutes of chanpagne for Bastill Day.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:10:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> chilled, of course
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:11:00 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, guys. Sorry I'm late, but an architect friend of Scott's was here to take away a boatlioad of architecture books, and also Morgan books. He just left, but at least those books are out of my house>
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:11:03 PM EDT] <bynw> hi KK
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:11:27 PM EDT] <judyward> Something less to move.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:11:30 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hello KK
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:11:55 PM EDT] <Shiral> So another item can be crossed of your to-do list
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:12:21 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, Bynw. I see that Evie isn't listed, so maybe you didn't get the update that I'd sent her almost an hour ago. Anyway, I'm here now.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:12:23 PM EDT] <Shiral> Bee, naturally our Bastille Day Champagne must be chilled =o)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:12:59 PM EDT] <KK> Well, it isn't crossed off, but he did take a lot of books. Made a noticeable dent in the overall task.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:13:01 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Hi KK!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:13:11 PM EDT] <judyward> I love champagne
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:13:13 PM EDT] <KK> Hi, DR.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:13:41 PM EDT] <Shiral> Nice cooling drink for summer
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:14:39 PM EDT] * DesertRose adds a pitcher of chilled, freshly-squeezed orange juice for those who'd like a mimosa (or just the juice).
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:15:04 PM EDT] <Dennis> Hi, KK!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:15:11 PM EDT] * Shiral adds some black currant juice which is always good in champagne.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:15:20 PM EDT] <bynw> KK, she's out at her parents. but she didnt see it right away either but she told us about it just before you got here
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:15:30 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Ooh, I've never tried that, Shiral, but it sounds yummy!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:15:49 PM EDT] <Shiral> I forget what the French call it, but it's delish
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:15:53 PM EDT] <judyward> What is black currant juice?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:15:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cassis, maybe?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:15:59 PM EDT] <Shiral> Cassis
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:16:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Or is that the black currant liqueur?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:16:20 PM EDT] <Shiral> I think the liqueur is creme de cassis
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:16:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It's the juice of black currants, judyward. ;)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:16:56 PM EDT] <judyward> OK
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:17:05 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I was going to say that!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:17:09 PM EDT] <Shiral> Champagne and black raspberry liqueur is also good
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:17:09 PM EDT] <KK> The drink is called Kir, or Kir Royale. Can't remember what the difference is.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:17:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (Black currants are a fruit that doesn't grow too well in the US, but they are popular in Europe.)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:17:26 PM EDT] <judyward> But we can get it here?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:17:47 PM EDT] <Shiral> It can be bought at expensive little shops.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:17:59 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Not cheaply, but yes, we can get it. :)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:18:08 PM EDT] <judyward> Ah, I'll have to ask our local businesswoman
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:19:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If you have a grocery store or supermarket that carries European foods, try there.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:19:20 PM EDT] <judyward> We have HEB Central Market. I'll check.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:19:34 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Ordinary kir is for commoners. ;)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:19:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> If there's a HEB location in a part of town where there are a lot of European ex-pats (or where people have vacation homes), that's a good starting point.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:19:52 PM EDT] <judyward> It's in Austin, though, so will wait till I have to go to Austin for something
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:19:53 PM EDT] <Shiral> Sometimes it comes in the form of concentrate. You can add it to water, whether still or bubbly. Bubbly water is more fun
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:20:31 PM EDT] <Shiral> How was the Michaeline retreat, KK?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:20:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Austin may have a specialty store; it's a pretty cosmopolitan city. Search Google for "European specialty grocery store" and see what you get.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:20:54 PM EDT] <judyward> Will do.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:21:28 PM EDT] <KK> Foods of All Nations might have it. Or Trader Joe's.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:21:45 PM EDT] <KK> Michaeline retreat was good, Shiral.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:21:45 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Cost Plus World Market might also, if you have one nearby.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:21:46 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, we have Trader Joe's in Austin, too.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:22:11 PM EDT] <Shiral> Worth a try, JudyWard
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:22:16 PM EDT] <judyward> No, haven't heard of that one. But Gala goes to Trader Joes a lot.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:22:28 PM EDT] <judyward> Yep, will have to try it.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:23:10 PM EDT] <DesertRose> A lot of times, the sign outside a Cost Plus World Market will not show the first two words very prominently, so from the road, it may look like it's just called "World Market."
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:23:35 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, maybe so, we do have World Market
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:24:29 PM EDT] <judyward> I emailed her to look
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:25:28 PM EDT] <Shiral> Just in case you want to buy a world, DR? =o)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:25:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:25:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Between the books I've read and the stories I've made up in my head, I'm all stocked up on Worlds, thanks. :)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:26:02 PM EDT] <judyward> BRB, T2 wants her dinner.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:27:13 PM EDT] <judyward> OK, she's fed
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:27:56 PM EDT] <The_Bee> That was quick.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:28:19 PM EDT] <judyward> Easy to feed dogs. Fill up bowl, dog empties bowl.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:28:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> KK, have you heard from Jasta?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:28:45 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, gourmet food is mostly wasted on dogs.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:28:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> The hardest part about feeding cats is getting them to get out from underfoot so you can get to the bowl!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:28:55 PM EDT] <judyward> She's still eathing actually but Quanah is done with his
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:29:03 PM EDT] <KK> Saw her last weekend, Bee. She did not look good.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:29:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> :(
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:29:25 PM EDT] <judyward> Oh, no.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:29:33 PM EDT] <Shiral> =o(
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:30:03 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Melantha is currently ignoring four partly full food bowls.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:30:14 PM EDT] <KK> She had a paracentisis on Wednesday, which at least removed some fluid from her abdomen, but she was very, very tired over the weekend.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:30:31 PM EDT] <judyward> Sorry to hear that!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:30:38 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Do you know her diagnosis?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:31:31 PM EDT] <KK> Such talent, but rotten luck and some poor decisions have tripped up fulfillment of that talent. Very sad. I've known her for decades.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:32:21 PM EDT] <KK> Fatty liver, same as Scott had. I think she's on a transplant list, but who knows how long it will take to get the top of the queue?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:32:43 PM EDT] <judyward> Those are long waiting lists.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:33:08 PM EDT] <Shiral> And liver transplants are tricky things.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:33:11 PM EDT] <judyward> Our friend Scott had a nephew who matched for his kidney. Lucky.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:33:11 PM EDT] * The_Bee sends better-health and new-liver woodgies toward Jasta Elf.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:34:14 PM EDT] <KK> And aftercare for any organ transplant entails a drastic change of lifestyle.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:34:20 PM EDT] <judyward> Can you keep from getting that DX or is it just luck?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:34:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> With a lot of organ transplants, a blood relative is often the best chance of a match, if it's an organ that can be taken from a live donor.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:34:56 PM EDT] <bynw> definately have my fav redheaded priest on the prayer list
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:35:14 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I believe a live donor can give part of a liver.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:35:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Bone marrow, too.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:36:32 PM EDT] <judyward> Bone marrow for sure. Maybe liver, you can live a long time on just part of your liver in good health.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:36:36 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, I believe so. I know that one liver from a deceased donor can sometimes be given to multiple recipients, because the organ will regenerate the rest of itself.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:37:20 PM EDT] <The_Bee> and a partial liver can regenerate.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:37:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Assuming a successful transplant surgery and good aftercare.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:37:30 PM EDT] <judyward> That's good.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:39:35 PM EDT] <KK> It's a long recovery, too.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:39:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It is.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:40:58 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And part of the long recovery is the immunosuppressive drugs that are intended to keep the recipient's body from rejecting the donated organ, but it tends to make them much more susceptible to other illnesses, which doesn't help the general situation.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:40:58 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Jemler couldn't even get on the transplant list.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:41:10 PM EDT] <judyward> That's a shame.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:41:34 PM EDT] <judyward> Miss seeing Jemler on Chat.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:41:34 PM EDT] <KK> He needed a kidney, didn't he?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:41:40 PM EDT] <Shiral> She's facing a very soberting health problem
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:41:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yes.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:42:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yes, he'd been on dialysis for a good few years.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:43:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> IIRC, Jemler was allergic to some immunosuppressive drugs.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:43:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> He was allergic to a LOT of antibiotics, and that was one of the reasons he wasn't a good candidate for transplant.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:43:58 PM EDT] <judyward> So sad.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:44:05 PM EDT] <DesertRose> He also had some other chronic issues that threw up roadblocks in re transplant.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:44:33 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I hope he's now running along the Rainbow Bridge.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:45:06 PM EDT] <judyward> Yep.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:46:00 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It sucks, but part of the thing with organ donation is that, because there aren't that many organs being donated (and some of them have to match up biologically pretty freaking closely), the donation/transplant teams want to place the donated organs in people who are likely to recover well, and unfortunately, he had a number of issues that meant a solid chance of a rocky recovery at best.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:46:42 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Trump was talking about encouraging more live donations.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:47:03 PM EDT] <Dennis> I *hope* that was a typo, Bee. I wouldn
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:47:09 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I know that's just barely political, but let's get away from politics or even political-adjacent topics.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:47:09 PM EDT] <judyward> Having other issues will take you right off the list.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:47:14 PM EDT] <Dennis> I wouldn't put it past him if it wasn't/
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:47:31 PM EDT] <The_Bee> not a typo. He made a speech about it.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:47:38 PM EDT] <judyward> No politics
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:47:51 PM EDT] <Dennis> About "live" donations or "liver" donations?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:48:03 PM EDT] <DesertRose> KK, can you see a light at the end of the tunnel of sorting belongings?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:48:10 PM EDT] <The_Bee> It followed a news story about chain donatins.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:48:16 PM EDT] <judyward> That's a hard job
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:48:21 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Okay, please get off politics.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:48:43 PM EDT] <KK> Some live donations are fine.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:48:57 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I understand it was a relatively natural progression of topics, but it's contentious and apt to get tempers heated.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:48:58 PM EDT] <KK> Re sorting and culling, I'm making progress.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:49:12 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I mean organ donations by living persons.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:49:17 PM EDT] <Dennis> Ah. That makes sense, KK. now that I think about it.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:49:41 PM EDT] <KK> Yes, understood. Kidney, liver, and marrow are all live donations.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:50:05 PM EDT] <Dennis> Sorry, Bee. My mind immediately went to Monty Python instead of things like kidney, liver, and marrow donations, like KK just said.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:50:39 PM EDT] <The_Bee> There will never be a live brain donation.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:50:41 PM EDT] <Shiral> The word "donation" does suggest a willingness on the part of the donor. If they are okay with the process, I don't object, myself. Especially if it's to save a life.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:50:49 PM EDT] <judyward> Do you remember the controversy about the parents who had another baby hoping for a match to their child who needed a donor?
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:51:32 PM EDT] <The_Bee> You can sign up as an organ donor.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:51:46 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Yes, I do.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:51:52 PM EDT] <judyward> Here they put it on your driver's license.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:52:04 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I've been one since I got my driver's license, and I've donated blood since I was about 17-18 (not in recent years because of my digestive health problems).
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:52:17 PM EDT] <judyward> The donation went well and years later the donor daughter was fine with it.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:52:37 PM EDT] <Shiral> I am an organ donor, at least in the event of my death and if anyone can make use of my insides. Until then, I prefer to keep my organs unless and until it's to save someone who would die if I didn't.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:53:20 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Yeah, I would probably be a poor candidate for live-donor donation, but I'd be willing if maybe not able.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:54:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> At my age, I'm not sure they'd want my organs. Maybe I'll just give my body to science.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:54:26 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I offered to test for bone marrow donation when my maternal grandmother was diagnosed with leukemia, but she wasn't a good transplant candidate either, so there wasn't a reason.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:55:11 PM EDT] <DesertRose> (At the time, I was about twenty and in much better physical shape than now.)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:55:25 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Ifmy family don't cremate it first.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:55:31 PM EDT] <judyward> Yes, donor has to be in good health
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:56:40 PM EDT] <judyward> LOL. Lou is cussing at the TV again.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:56:44 PM EDT] <KK> There are bits and pieces that are stilll useable, like corneas, skin sometimes, tendons....they can use a lot of body parts--and then cremate the rest.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:56:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Boston's Museum of Science has an exhibit of human bodies or body parts.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:57:12 PM EDT] <judyward> That's kind of morbid.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:57:31 PM EDT] <DesertRose> LOL, judyward, I shared a picture from Facebook with my mom yesterday of a puppy climbing up stairs that were awfully steep for a small dog, and it was captioned, "Fine. I won't give up, but I will cuss the entire time."
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:57:54 PM EDT] <judyward> Aww, that's cute!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:57:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I made a will online, but I couldn't figure out how to sign it.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:58:14 PM EDT] <Dennis> I saw a previous iteration of that exhibit, Bee. Couldn't deal with it. It creeped me out so much I had to sit in the lobby and wait for the people I was with.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:58:45 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I didn't want to see it either.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [6:59:53 PM EDT] <judyward> DR, Lou cusses at the TV regularly since we got ATT/DirecTV Now, but it's cheaper than TWC
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:00:08 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I was sort of goofing around with my Mom, because that is SO my stepdad, but it's also me, LOL.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:00:31 PM EDT] <judyward> I'd have to rest about every 10 steps.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:00:40 PM EDT] <The_Bee> I've tried antennas, but I can't find one that works.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:00:46 PM EDT] <DesertRose> And cuss while resting. ;)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:00:55 PM EDT] <judyward> Yes!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:01:25 PM EDT] <judyward> Antennas aren't very helpful any more
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:01:59 PM EDT] <The_Bee> So I've been told. And cable is CO$$tly
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:02:17 PM EDT] <judyward> Yes, it is, but I've got to keep him entertained.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:02:30 PM EDT] <judyward> Lou's computer just died on him
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:03:05 PM EDT] <KK> Oh no!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:03:26 PM EDT] <judyward> Yep, we'll be going to Discount Electronics tomorrow for a new one.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:03:49 PM EDT] <judyward> He dug out the old lap top for now.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:04:06 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Mine died. needed a new power cord. resurrected now.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:04:22 PM EDT] <The_Bee> My TV, I meant
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:04:58 PM EDT] <judyward> Good that it was something easy
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:05:14 PM EDT] <Shiral> I would need to be entertained if my laptop died
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:06:25 PM EDT] <Dennis> Missy says, "Meow."
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:06:44 PM EDT] <Shiral> Hello Missy
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:06:50 PM EDT] <The_Bee> Melanthasays "ho-hum."
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:07:09 PM EDT] <judyward> Tsin'tia says ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:07:17 PM EDT] <Dennis> Heh.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:09:18 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys says, "Mama, why'd you move me?" (She parked herself in my desk chair when I got up to refill my tea.)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:09:41 PM EDT] <judyward> I think Quanah is asleep in my recliner.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:10:34 PM EDT] <bynw> its her desk chair
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:11:38 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Plus it was made of warm since I'd been sitting in it. ;)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:11:50 PM EDT] <judyward> The best kind!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:12:40 PM EDT] <DesertRose> It IS a comfy chair. I've fallen asleep in it a few times myself, when I was really tired.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:14:44 PM EDT] <KK> Easy to do in a comfy chair.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:14:47 PM EDT] <judyward> I sleep in my recliner a lot.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:15:03 PM EDT] <judyward> Not the whole night, but while watching TV
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:15:22 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I call my recliner the +3 Chair of Somnolence, because I have yet to meet a human or feline who can stay awake for long while sitting in it. :)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:15:48 PM EDT] <judyward> 8)
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:15:51 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Haven't tried with canines, but I imagine the Sleep spell works on them too. :D
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:16:04 PM EDT] <judyward> It does seem to.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:16:33 PM EDT] <judyward> Lou is starting to grumble about being hungry, so I better good. Everyone have a great week!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:16:47 PM EDT] <DesertRose> I can actually stay awake longer reading a book in bed than I can reading a book in the +3 Chair. :D
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:16:50 PM EDT] <DesertRose> G'night, judyward!
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:16:51 PM EDT] <judyward> Go, that is

[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:19:15 PM EDT] <KK> I think I'd better shove off too. I hear Cameron making cooking noises in the kitchen. See you all next week at our usual time.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:19:15 PM EDT] <DesertRose> Carys does that a lot too.
[Sunday, July 14, 2019] [7:19:17 PM EDT] <Dennis> Indeed. I had to feed Her Highness.

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
